Greetings all!

A short question: is modifying (probably an understatement ;-) Python
to remove the global interpreter lock likely to be 

(a) Easier
(b) Harder
(c) Indifferent

with stackless python over cpython?  I suspect (c), but I'd be
interested to hear from anyone who knows better!

Regards,
